Camel Up Board Game

Prepare to be transported to Ancient Egypt in Camel Up! As members of Egyptian high society, you gather in the desert with one simple goal: to gain the most money by backing the right camel to win a leg or even the entire race.

In Camel Up, up to eight players bet on five racing camels in a quick race around a pyramid. However, in this race, it’s not just the lucky ones who can beat the odds. Reading the dynamics of the race and having a good sense of timing is just as important when it comes to backing the right camels and taking the victory. The earlier you place your bet, the more you can win—should you guess correctly, of course.

The eponymous Camels of Camel Up don’t run neatly, however, sometimes landing on top of another one and being carried toward the finish line. Who’s going to run when? That all depends on how the dice come out of the pyramid dice shaker, which releases one die at a time when players pause from their bets long enough to see who’s actually moving! Place your bids wisely and decide when it is time to strike, and maybe just maybe with a little bit of timing and a lot of luck, your bid will pay off!

Camel Up is recommended for 2-8 players, ages 8 and up, with game playtimes around 30 minutes.
